The Didactic and Interactive Science Museum of Vega Baja del Segura of the Valencian Community (MUDIC-VBS-CV) is located in facilities of the Miguel Hernández University and is a science center dedicated to presenting universal laws and principles, as well as, scientific phenomena so that they transcend time and context,...
At the beginning of the confinement, the educational activity that we carried out in schools had to be reinvented due to the unusual circumstances that we have had to live. At that time, many teachers from all countries did what we could with the means we had at home...
